750mL bottle Geerlings & Wade Zinfandel and 750mL Chardonnay

Geerlings & Wade® 2009 Reserve Cabernet was produced from premium Chardonnay grapes grown in Sonoma County following gold world Grand Cru Domaine and First Growth classification philosophies. Geerlings & Wade 2009 Reserve Chardonnay is not your typical California-style Chardonnay. Flavors of lemon, green apple, wet stone and vanilla unfold into a long, dry, and crisp finish. Rich on the palate yet balanced by a vibrant acidity.

The 2008 Geerlings & Wade Zinfandel boasts a soft, fruit-forward style full of raspberry and subtle baking spices. It’s soft and lush in the mouth and is a wonderful wine to sip alone or to pair with a wide range of foods including pizza, pasta, steak and spicy dishes.

Clarim 2009 Reserve Chardonnay wine boasts aromas of pear, nectarine and honeysuckle with a touch of vanilla and tropical notes of pineapple. Flavors of lemon, wet stone and vanilla unfold into a long, dry, and crisp finish. This wine will not disappoint. This reserve was crafted in the style of the French to create a balanced intense Chardonnay with a lively crispness and a firm structure.
